Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how you interact with it. Alongside traditional cookies, we also use similar technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage. This policy covers all of them.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep Playvora Wilds running smoothly, remember your choices (such as cookie consent and age verification), and understand how explorers find and use our games — so we can keep improving the expedition.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Keep the site secure and functional. Store age-gate and cookie-consent decisions. | __age_ok, __cc_v1, __Host-_gclid (if arriving via ad) | Session to 12 months. No consent required. |
| Performance / Analytics | Anonymous measurement of traffic, pages visited, and game interactions to improve the site. | Cloudflare Web Analytics (__cf_bm) | Up to 30 days. Consent required. |

4. Lawful Basis (PIPEDA + CASL)
Our cookie use is governed by Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). Under PIPEDA's "knowledge and consent" principle, strictly necessary cookies are set on the basis of legitimate interest — they are essential for the site to function and do not require your consent. All other cookie categories (performance, functional, and advertising) are set only with your express, opt-in consent, which you can withdraw at any time by adjusting your preferences through the banner or by clearing the relevant browser storage.
5. How to Manage Your Cookies on Playvora Wilds
When you first visit, a consent banner offers "Accept All" and "Essential Only" options. Your choice is stored in localStorage.__cc_v1. To change your choice later, clear that key in your browser's developer tools (Application → Local Storage) or use the browser cookie management steps below.
6. How to Manage Cookies in Your Browser
You can control or delete cookies directly in your browser. Guides for the most common browsers:
7. Third-Party Cookies and Services
When you consent to analytics or advertising cookies, the following third parties may set cookies on our site:
- Cloudflare, Inc. — CDN, security, and privacy-first web analytics. Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
- Google LLC — Google Analytics and Google Ads (only when arriving via a paid campaign and with consent). Google Privacy Policy.
- Microsoft Corporation — Microsoft Advertising (only when arriving via a paid campaign and with consent). Microsoft Privacy Statement.
8. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a withdrawal of consent for analytics and advertising cookies — only strictly necessary cookies will be set. We do not currently implement a technical response to the older Do Not Track (DNT) header, but GPC is our supported standard for signalling tracking preferences.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
